Technically undoable still. There is apparently a way to get
PrintOMatic to do it on Windows, but there's no analagous means from
Mac.

Well, that's interesting. If they're advertising that it works, it
probably (!) does. I guess the thing I'd be most concerned about is
what end users have in place. POM used to get wobbly in 16 bit color
with Hewlett-Packard inkjets on Windows, for instance -- wouldn't
print anything but blank pages -- and if those issues still persist
who knows what end users might run into.
I thought Flash could send print commands to the browser without an
Xtra. If that's the case, might that be a viable option? Formatting
the page in Flash, then printing from there?
